Decision-ready guidance. This brief is written for boards, property managers, and commercial pool owners who want better questions before approving the next pool decision.
Why this decision matters
Water loss can hide inside normal pool operation. Splash-out, evaporation, backwashing, autofill behavior, plumbing leaks, shell leaks, and equipment issues can all look similar without better documentation. The wrong assumption can waste money and delay the right repair.
What to document before guessing
- ✓Autofill status, water meter readings, and make-up water patterns.
- ✓Water level changes during open and closed periods.
- ✓Backwash frequency, filter operation, and unusual discharge observations.
- ✓Visible cracks, stains, wet areas, deck movement, or equipment room leaks.
- ✓Whether water loss changes when the system is running versus off.
